I'm sooo excited ... it will still be several weeks before I get to collect this little beauty - but in the meantime I wanted to share this picture. I must admit I was extremely nervous purchasing an L coloured stone - but all things considered, I think its beautiful. Yes, the tint is visible in this picture, but I don't think it looks "yellow" at all.

I was very inspired by this Post: [URL='https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/the-2011-trend-the-french-sides-collection.161358/']https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/the-2011-trend-the-french-sides-collection.161358/[/URL] - so many beautiful rings!! Thanks to everyone who posted here ... I now have my dream ring because of you all!

I had originally wanted lots of milgrain and engraving and wanted that real vintage look, but when I saw it plain I thought it looked best that way, and so I decided to keep it that way. Funny how things turn out! There is just so much life and fire in the french cuts that I really didn't want to detract from them at all.

Of course Victor was so very easy to work with - I wanted to make a few small tweaks to the Sophia, most of which were accommodated - but Victor was always quick to respond to e-mails and happy to provide an opinion/recommendation.

I'm also very lucky to have such a wonderful husband who wanted to spoil me for a special up-coming birthday (well, it's not till next year, but no harm in planning ahead right?)

Stats
2.5ct L AVC
Ring size 5.75 - sized for my right hand
French cuts = 1.35tcw in K/L colour stones
